Renewing the Rivalry: Rattlers set to meet old rival Hays in season opener

San Marcos Football
Thursday, August 30, 2018

The countdown to kickoff is almost complete. San Marcos has been preparing for weeks to play in its first game of the season against Buda Hays at 7:30 p.m. at San Marcos Toyota Rattler Stadium.

The team has gone from senior-led practices, to two-a-days, to walkthroughs, to a scrimmage with San Antonio Holmes, to putting on the finishing touches of its gameplan against the Rebels. What is left to do for the Rattlers to be ready for their first game?

“In Rattler Country, we practice all the way up to the kickoff,” head coach Mark Soto said. “We’re not ready until the kickoff. So, there’s film to be watched, there’s walkthroughs to go through, there’s nutrition, there’s hydration, there’s motivation, there’s devotion. There’s all kinds of things we’ll do, all the way up to the kickoff. Even in the locker room before we go out to take the field, we’re visualizing the play. So, it’s about dreaming about sticks and picks and watching film right now.”
